I used the files provided by the original reporter and another tester to run
follow up tests for my investigation. I was able to reproduce the bug in the
same environment as it was originally found although with a more current
version of OpenOffice.

The intention is to display Level 1 text to appear step at a time with Level 2
text. To achieve this affect we can add custom animation to the text in each
level with 2 second delay between the two levels to simulate the pause.
The issue raised in this report is that rendering is unpredictable with second
level text appearing before level 1 text when slideshow is run on Windows XP
machine.

Configurations 1: 
OpenOffice 3.3.0 OOo330m20 (build 9567)
OpenOffice 3.4.0 OOo300m106 (build 9582)
OS: Windows 7 Home Edition Premium 
System type: 64bit
Make and model: Dell Studio 1555
Processor: Pentium(R) dual-core T4300 2.1GHz
RAM: 4GB
Hard drive: 500GB

Configurations 2: 
OpenOffice 3.4.0 OOo300m106 (build 9582)
Dell Dimension 4550
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.66 GHZ
Windows XP version 2002 SP2
RAM: 1.5GB
Hard drive: 120GB

Step1: Copy the file Prova.odp to a local directory
Step 2 Opened in Impress OOO 3.4.0 and OOO 3.3.0
Step 3: Check the layout of the presentation
    Five lines of text with bullet points as follows:
    Line 1 text: Test 1 (set as level 1)
    Lines 2, 3 & 5 text indented: Test 2, Test 3 and Test 5 (set as level 2)
    Line 4 Text: Test 4 (set as level 1)
The ‘text animation’ delay for level 1 text is set to 2secs as is obvious from
the text animation effect options below. 
Step 4: Check the program settings

Effect Options setting:
Level 1(lines 1&4)            Level 2 (lines 2, 3, and 5)
Effect: 
Sound:             no sound                 no sound        
 After animation:      Don’t dim                don’t dim
Text animation:     All at once                All at once
Timing:
Start:             After Previous                With previous
Delay:             2.0sec                    0.0sec
Speed:             medium                medium
Repeat:         none                    none
Rewind when finished playing: not ticked            not ticked
Text animation:
Group text:         As one object (line 1)            by 1st level paragraphs
            After Previous paragraphs (line 4)
Automatically after:     greyed out (line 1)             2.0sec
            Ticked and set to 2.0sec (line 4)
Animate attached shape: Ticked     (line 1)                greyed out
              Greyed out (line 4)
In reverse order: greyed out (line 1)                not ticked
        Not ticked (line 4)

Custom Animation for the slides
These were checked by selecting custom animation option from the slideshow menu
or right hand panel and found to have the following options set.

Entrance: Fade in
Emphasis: Change fill colour
Exit: Box 
Motion path: Curve
Misc Effects: End media
Step 5: Check that the slideshow setting type is set to default (accessed via
slideshow settings option) 
Step 6: I ran the slideshow from the animation window on the right and from the
slideshow menu. Results: The animation ran as expected as below.

Expected Results
0 sec           Data Migration - title        
1 sec          Test 2 & Test 3        (level2)
3 sec          Test 1              (Level 1)
4 sec          Test 5             (Level 2)
5 sec          Test 4           (Level 1)

The above test did not reproduce the behaviour that the text is rendered
unexpected and level 2 text appears before level 1 text. A video of the
slideshow is captured and attached as evidence. File Name: Slideshow with
slides 1&2. 

Follow up Tests (Configurations 1)

Test 1
In order to discount the fact that the observed behaviour is not related to
effect options I decided to add another slide copied from the original slide
but changed the timing start as shown in the steps below. 
Step 1: A new slide was created from the one used above and added to the pack.
I called the new file Prova2slidepack.odp. The start timing is changed in the
effect option to ‘with previous’ from ‘after previous’ so that all text lines
display simultaneous except  text lines 1 and 4 that have 2 sec delay kept. 
This should result in text appearing the order below.  Screenshot Snapshot of
custom animation set up slide 2.jpg show these settings.

Expected Results
0 sec           Data Migration - title        
1 sec          Test 2 & Test 3 & Test 5       (level 2)
3 sec          Test 1 & Test 4              (level 1)

Step 2: Check that the slideshow setting type is to default 
Step3: I ran the slideshow from the animation window on the right and from the
slideshow menu.
Result:  The animation played as expected above. The video of this animation is
captured and is included in the attachment ‘Slideshow with slides 1&2’.

Test 2:

I then decided to try the test file Prova_2Slides.odp that Joseph McGuire used
for his testing to reproduce the bug  that would yield more information about
the reported problem. His file has similar changes made as I did in my Test 1
above.

Step 1: I copied the file Prova_2Slides.odp to my local directory 
Step 2 Opened the file in Impress OOO 3.4.0 and OOO 3.3.0
Step3: I ran the slideshow from the animation window on the right and from the
slideshow menu
Result: The animation played as expected from both slides and did not show
anything untoward. 

Test 1 and Test 2 above were repeated a couple of times but did not find any
new information.


Follow up Tests (Configurations 2)

In order to prove that the behaviour is restricted to Windows XP, I ran tests
with all three files on XP built machine. 

Test 1

Step 1: I Copied file Prova.odp to the local directory
Step 2: Opened the file in Impress OOO 3.4.0
Step 3:  Check that the slideshow setting type is to default
Step 4: I ran the slideshow from the animation window on the right and from the
slideshow menu.
Result: It played as expected with predictable animation

Test 2

Step 1: I Copied file Prova2slidepack.odp that I created to the local directory
Step 2: Opened the file in Impress OOO 3.4.0
Step 5: I run the slideshow from the animation window on the right and from the
slideshow menu. 
Result: It played as expected with predictable animation

Test 3

Step 1: Copy the file Prova_2Slides.odp to a local directory. This is the file
that Joseph McGuire used for his testing 
Step 2:  Opened in Impress OOO 3.4.0 and OOO 3.3.0
Step 8:  I run the slideshow from the animation window on the right and from
the slideshow menu. Result: The text was rendering fine but jumping all over
the screen. I took a video with a camcorder to capture the behaviour. File Bug
109502 replication.wmv is attached with the report.

Test 4

Before I ran this test I searched OpenOffice bug database to look for
information reported earlier about slideshow rendering problem and how to fix
it. I was able find the answer that I was looking for. On the basis of the
searched I changed the test slightly as shown below.

Step 1: I repeated Test 3 in this section except changed the slideshow setting
type to window 
Step 2:  I ran the slideshow 
Result: I did not find unusual behaviour and the animation worked as expected.
Step 3: I repeated the same test and reset the slideshow setting type to
default but changed the graphic output settings via tools>options>view>graphics
output>Use hardware acceleration and unchecked the box. 
Step 4: I ran the slideshow from the animation window on the right and from the
slideshow menu. 
Result: The animation played as expected.

I didn’t have time to load OOO 3.3.0 and rerun the tests in configuration 2.
With hindsight, I think it is necessary.

Conclusions: It is pretty fortunate that the file that eventually helped me to
reproduce the bug was created by another tester during the course of his
testing while replicating the bug. That seems to work in the configurations
that the original used to report a problem except the OpenOffice version.
Although the bug was reported for OpenOffice OOO310m19, it seems to be as a
result of its incompatibility with Windows XP. The reporter may not have been
aware of how to change graphics output parameter ‘hardware acceleration’. The
problem was not experienced in OpenOffice OOO 3.4.0 for Windows 7 environment
due to in-built high resolution graphic cards. It is still a problem in Windows
XP although workaround is available which has the downside that you cannot run
the slideshow in full screen.
